Bae Ji-hwan Designated for Assignment by Milwaukee Just 6 Days After Joining MLB Team

Bae Ji-hwan, who recently found a new home with the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball, has been designated for assignment just six days after joining the team.

Milwaukee announced on the 16th (KST) that it has designated Bae for assignment (DFA) and added utility player Jonathan Ornelas, who was acquired from the Athletics in a cash trade, to the roster.

Having received notice of designation for assignment, Bae can immediately transfer if a team expresses interest in acquiring him. However, if no team claims him, his status will change to a minor leager or he will become a free agent (FA).

Bae played for the Syracuse Mets, the Triple-A minor league affiliate of the New York Mets, this season before being released on the 5th.

After signing with Milwaukee on the 10th, he appeared in a big league game against the Minnesota Twins on the day of his joining, showing an impressive performance by hitting a bunt single.

However, he failed to produce hits in subsequent games and did not show any notable performances.

During the game against the San Diego Padres on the 12th, he showed an unstable performance, making a defensive error that provided the basis for a large number of runs.
